What is recorded here

Located on the summit plateau of Sheemore Hill. This is a grass-covered oval area (dims c. 180m NE-SW; c. 110m NW-SE) defined by a slight stone bank, best preserved at S (Wth 0.9m; H 0.55m) and visible intermittently around the perimeter of the plateau. It encloses the cairns (LE027-054001-; LE027-054002-; LE027-054003-) and appears to be overlain by the field system (LE027-054005-) and the associated enclosure (LE027-054004-). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
